Very easy fix. Plus it is probably just a bad connection in the bulkhead connector or somewhere else along the line. Which I told him to check before buying new parts.

As you know Dave Ive lost some water with draining the water jacket when I loosened the exhaust manifold ...So I can top that up via radiator if I remember correct... but Ive also taken off the valve cover gaskets the rightside one was toasted on so Ive no gasket for that side, please advise what can I do, I want to try your idea with the wiring in the bulkhead but Im a bit nervous firing it up, what effects will it have on the engine if I do it?

You could just check that you have power to the coil with the ign on, you can use a test light, if no power follow wire back to see where your losing the power to the coil? ( just a quick check)You wont need to fire it up just check with ign on.

Talk about your bad look....I was looking over all the connections and I found a couple of wires connecting the ballast resistor loose so I redone those and hit the deck to make sure the starter connections were ok, I was tightening the nuts and the smaller nut sheares of in my hand..I couldnt believe it, Now I have to take of the starter and take it apart to fix it!!!
It wont best me I tell ya!!!;)
